> ... especially in contrast to the complete waste of taxpayer money that is the SLS.

Time to chop down the knowledge trees of economic theory and bureaucratic budget proceduralism. Crazy to think of all those 1960s concepts left on the drawing board in the U. S. A. meanwhile Communists in China were subsisting in caves.

I just want Plan 9front or 9legacy and the Go programming language running on it.

thuccess129··on Dreamy landscape from Falcon 9's 25th launch for 2021
Dear Moon and SpaceX. Can you include footage of the Octograbber in dramatic racing car pit stop action after the booster has landed and is cooling off on the ocean going platform? Audio included? Coverage from the air by remote flying cameras?

Apple has bunny hopped hardware architectures, successfully. The time is right to switch from the 70s FreeBSD software environment to Bell Labs's 9P concept-oriented operating system jazzed up with Apple's delightfully intuitive UX Pixar styled art and animation. Linux is a step sideways from the BSDs.
thuccess129··on What if Xi Jinping just isn't that competent?
Xi Jinping's cohort of Millenial decision makers on the political scene in China made the correct choice, as did Japan's and Europe's, to fast track highspeed rail over hyperjumbojet A380 for long distance overland travel. That's one datapoint. Leadership, such as the directors on the board at Boeing, they don't need to be competent. That is for the execs, managers, workers todo.

Is the fix to crossover packaged extended shelf life meals-ready-to-eat with fastfood outlet logistics skipping on the luxury of cold storage? What would the descendants of the survivors of the potato famine have done using modern technology? Exchange a healthy intake of calorie requirements for gainful work bootstrapping a failing economy? Baseline the cost profile on the 9 months it takes to ship an empty cardboard box by a corrupt bureaucracy paying millions to the CEO and management at the top of any so-called charity?
thuccess129··on Ask HN: Is there a simple and minimal language like C but without its footguns?
